GLADSTONE WILL ONLY PROTEST
 Without Other opposition to the
 Course Pursued by the Government | in Putting the Coercion B1ll on Its ! Passage Next Friday Night.
 ! LONDON, June 1O-Mr. Smith moved in
 the House of Commons this evening the res
 olution previously announced requesting that | at 10 p. m. of the 17th the chairman forth l with put the question on any motion,
 amendment or proposal touching the clause of the crimes bill then under discussion and finally on each remaining clause. He urged that the step was forced upon the govern | ment by continued obstruction. It was ab- solutely necessary for the dignity and eff I ciency of the House that deliberate attempts | to prevent the progress of business should be ! defeated. It was now the fourth month of ! the session and practically nothing had been
 done. The whole course of legis-
 lation had been stopped. The gov ! ernment desired that due consider- ation be given to the rights of the minority and respect shown for the traditions of liberty and freedom attached to the institutions of the country (derisive Par nellite laughter), but it was undoubtedly the duty of the government in circumstances without parallel in the history of Parlia- ment to call upon the House to take meas ures to prevent the minority from setting at defiance the controlling power of the majori- ty. It was impossible for government representing the majority to yield to the obstruction of the minority. It might be displaced by an adverse vote and then be bound to appeal to the country, but while sustained by the will of the majority of the
 House they must carry the business of
 the country. The debates over the crimes
 bill had become travesty, bringing
 ridicu1e, disgrace and contempt upon
 Parliament. He appealed to the House to
 support the government in trying to restore
 order in their proceedings. (Cheers.)
 MT. Gladstone said that a longer notice
 should have been given of this important motion. The present state of business and the entire paralysis of Parliament had caused intense dissatisfaction throughout the coun- try, but the position had been brought about by the government themselves. (Cries of :er! hearD They had been pursuing the |

He would suggest to the government that a ational mode | to expedite the bill would h to make it tenn porary instead of perlnanen and to strlKe | out all the provisions toucmg combination I apart from crime, assuring Irish tenants or I the same protection in respect to the1r lano ! strikes as is given English artisans ln thelt | labor strikes.

Mr. Parnell said he could not understand | the fatuity of the government in rushing blindfold along road which they had al- ready seen would lead to the greatest dlsor- der in Ireland. The government speakers had harped on the theme of ''obstructton AS matter of fact the Irish members had not lifted one voice against any measure e1- cept this bill, which they were bound to re- sist to the utmost. The cry of obstruction was not genuine when raised by men who did not desire to advance public business. Let the government proceed with the real business of the nation instead of wasting time over crimes bill applying to a nation where crime was at minimum. He con- cluded by moving an amendment that the House decline to sanction resolution limit ing freedom of debate and assailing.,

 Mr. Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer, ! aid that the preceding speaker might amuse he House, but he would not deceive the ,ountry. The government had made no at | ;empt to stop discussion on the important clauses of the bill. Parliament and the coun- 5ry had enough of this unlimited discussion and it was necessary now to put an end to 1t. Several of the Parnellites continued the dis | ,ussion.
 Mr Smith moved cloture, which was car ried by 8 vote of 284 to 167. MT. Parnells amendment was then rejected-301 to lSl. After further discussion MT. Smiths com nIete motion was carried under cloture by vote of 24 to e3 amid cheers and counter cheers Nr. Smith then proposed to post none further discussion of the bill ln com mittee till Monday. MT. Healey asked that the discussion of the bill be proceeded with on Saturday, but Mir. Smith said he was unable to accept Mr. Healey's suggestion, because it would be unfair to the officers of the House Mir. Chance denounced the gov ernment for depriving the Parnellites of portion of the available time for debate in order that the minis ters could attend the naval review. MT. Conybeare, in supporting MT. Healey, was commenting on the humorous talent of MT. Smith when the latter appealed to the chair.

 Mr. Conybeare was about to continue when Mr. Smith moved cloture, which was carried -2O2 to 73-amid cries of "shame, dis- graceful" etc. The motion to postpone dis cussion in committee until Monday was car ried. MT. Smith moved to adjourn tne House. MT. Healey objected Cheers ana a voice: s'He will have his holiday" greeted the final application of cloture and the carry, 3o
